How does shipping work?
All orders ship directly from our facility in Tampa, Florida within 24 - 48 hours. We utilize ground shipping via the United Parcel Service (UPS) inside of the lower 48 United States, as it is most cost effective for you.
What do you mean by “complimentary shipping”?
In order to provide you the utmost value for your purchase, any order (after all discounts are applied) that exceeds $100.00 per transaction, will receive free UPS Ground shipping, no matter how many drops you purchase. Orders below $100.00 will be shipped anywhere in the lower 48 United States at the given UPS Ground shipping rate per each order.
How are the backdrops built to be hung?
Smaller size backdrops (all sizes under 8x10) have a 3’ pole pocket at the top and a 1’ pocket sewn into the bottom, these backdrops are designed to support most manual systems. The seams of all smaller sized backdrops are sewn to produce over-locked edging that keeps the seams intact for years to come.
Medium sized drops (8x10) are outfitted with 4’ pole pockets as well as grommets at the top and a 1’ pole pocket at the bottom. Like our smaller sizes, medium sized drops have over-locked sides that are sewn in during the production phase.
Larger sizes (all sizes over 10x10) have a 4” pole pocket on both sides as well as grommets on the top side to provide you with a variety of means of hanging your drop(s), and to meet the needs of mechanical systems used at many professional studios. All of our larger backdrops in Solid, Crush Dyed and Painted Mottle designs are machine-crimped at the sides to produce seams that will not fray. All other designs are finished with over-locked sides that are sewn to form a durable edge.
What is the significance of GSM?
GSM, or grams per square meter, is a measurement of how dense the muslin fabric that our backdrops are made of is. Thicker, heavier backdrops work to better block background light and reduce reflections, while providing a more durable, superiorly built product. Traditionally in the photography and studio backdrop industry most suppliers provide backdrops that fall between 120 and 140 grams per square inch. Studioworld’s selection starts off at 165 GSM in our Essential Collection, and is steadily increased for backdrops in our Elegant and Marquee Collections. Specific GSM figures are reported within the “Technical Specifications” section of each backdrops information page.
